Abstract
To provide an electronic device and numerical controller that can achieve reduction in work for changing a display state after start-up of an application. A numerical controller comprises: a display control unit that displays one started application or multiple started applications simultaneously on the display unit; an input unit that accepts input through the operation unit and identifies a position on the display unit; a recognition unit that recognizes a figure drawn with the operation unit based on the identified position; and a start-up unit that starts an application associated with the figure and determines an initial display position for the started application based on the position on the display unit where the figure is drawn.
Claims5
An electronic device comprising:
- a display control unit that displays one started application or multiple started applications simultaneously on a display unit;
- an input unit that accepts input through an operation unit and identifies a position on the display unit;
- a recognition unit that recognizes a figure drawn with the operation unit based on the identified position;
- and
- a start-up unit that starts an application associated with the figure and determines an initial display position for the started application based on the position on the display unit where the figure is drawn.
A numerical controller for controlling a machine tool, the numerical controller being connected to a display unit and an operation unit, the numerical controller comprising:
- a display control unit that displays one started application or multiple started applications simultaneously on the display unit;
- an input unit that accepts input through the operation unit and identifies a position on the display unit;
- a recognition unit that recognizes a figure drawn with the operation unit based on the identified position;
- and
- a start-up unit that starts an application associated with the figure and determines an initial display position for the started application based on the position on the display unit where the figure is drawn.
